Frank Billings Kellogg (December 22, 1856 – December 21, 1937) was an American politician and statesman. He was born in Potsdam, New York and his family moved to Minnesota in 1865. He began practicing law in Rochester, Minnesota in 1877. He was city attorney of Rochester 1878–1881 and county attorney for Olmsted County, Minnesota 1882–1887. He moved to St. Paul, Minnesota in 1887.

He was a delegate to the Fifth International Conference of American States at Santiago, Chile in 1923, and served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Britain from 1923 to 1925.
